The noon hour is one of my most productive. Lunch has kicked in, I am recharged, and no one fucking bothers me. 

As someone who is routinely the first person in the office to go to lunch at 10:30, I endorse this article. Why 10:30, it’s when the lunch places around here open and I’m starving. I’m also back usually around 11:15, and then everyone else leaves at noon like clockwork and I get an hour of quiet time in the office.

No love for “The Expanse”?  Seriously?

Notice the CBP calls them ‘illegal aliens’ when they’re following international and us law by presenting themselves at the border and requesting asylum.

Obviously things are horrible in the countries these families are fleeing or they would not risk their own and their families lives. Why is it so hard to see that spending money on better accommodations to help the people trying to come into this country as legally as possible is going to be more helpful than a wall?…

Thank you for bringing this up.  One of the oft-overlooked features of the American supercarriers is their desalination plants, which have indeed gone into a number of disaster areas to provide both a staging area for rescue crews and also an abundance of potable water.

Carriers provide a lot more than a strike capability. A few years old but still relevant. 

Don’t know if you’re American, but getting into an infrastructure is dicey at best. The Chinese are building a massive EV charging network, a high speed rail system etc etc.. The US can’t get clean water to its citizens, has a minimal rail system, and a crumbling road system.

Is it not at this point an open secret that Pakistan (or rather its ISI) arms, trains and protects JeM and LeT?

The fact that the United States is presently incapable of offering any type of leadership or example here is also a bad sign.

This is a heap of not-good. India has the upper hand in this conflict. But China, which shares a disputed border with India in Himachal Pradesh, sides with Pakistan. There aren’t any ‘cooler heads’ running these three countries at the moment neither.

Amazingly, the US military already though of this in WWII: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb

That’s why you never make out with a possum...I’m lookin’ at you, George Conway!

As one of my favorite past co-workers would say:

So, what you’re saying is, reporters should “be the pigeon, not the pigee” and shit on Kellyanne Conway?

Yeah, even calling it an open secret seems like an understatement at this point. Everybody knows what her deal is (probably even Trump himself), but since everyone in the WW is doing the same thing no one wants to call her on it. If they let her go, they couldn’t blame Conway for their own leaking!

Kellyanne Conway is leaky as shit.

Hasn’t this been an open secret for years now?

This kind of worked on a Suckabee post on a sister site so I will try it on The Slot and see if I get some free stars:
